Driving shoes redux <was: Mike's CGT drive report>
I've been catching up on Mike's cool adventures with his CGT when I ran across the thread drift topic of driving shoes.
I've got some Piloti low tops that I'm looking to supplement|replace. While they're good, they're not great (I wear 10Ds).
At PDE, I noted most of the instructors wore ordinary sneakers, except for Chris Hall, who was in mid-cut Pilotis.
So Mike (and guys), how do you find the Oakleys versus the Pilotis?
Has anyone tried Tod's shoes? While they're Italian, and priced accordingly, after all, the shoes came up in a thread mentioning five-figure CFRP body panels.
Here is one of their better-known models, worn by Steve McQueen in BULLITT's famous car chase (there's a new deluxe DVD of that coming out, I hear):
They've got some newer models that interest me as well:
Chocolate color lace ups (not so versatile in color matching, but pretty):
Beige lace ups with nubs (nubs wear fast?):
Black with nubs:
Any feedback on the Oakleys vs. Pilotis, and Tod's appreciated.
